I have been at Ocean County College for three semesters so far (and a jump start class in high school before that, throughout my senior year) and it has helped me learn more about myself and the world around me. What has helped me even more are all the generous scholarships given to me from OceanFirst, the sponsors of OCC and scholarships from high school given to me during my last year there. Anything helps when it comes to saving money for my family. We have always been tight on money, but not

When you enter the town of Lakewood, New Jersey, you will see stores that have signs in Yiddish and Hebrew, the men wear long beards and long black clothing, while the women wear wigs or scarves and modest, yet fashionable, clothing.

He also appears in the background of the picture, while the children appear in the foreground. The children are facing the ocean and the giant so we do not see their faces, only the back of their heads. The children are painted in darker colors than the

Want to know a little known fact? Local government is one of the most influential factors in the American way of life, but it is not even mentioned in the U.S. Constitution.
